Koei has today confirmed that Samurai Warriors: Katana will be heading to Wii in 2008, with a North American launch in January.

“Samurai Warriors: KATANA thrusts players right into the heat of battle,” said Amos Ip, Senior Vice President of KOEI Corporation. (Read content ‘Samurai Warriors Katana To Slice Through Wii [News]’…)
